The women of FC Bayern are faced with a Herculean task: In the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League against Olympique Lyon, you have to make up for a deficit.
After the 0-2 home defeat in the first leg against Olympique Lyon, the footballers of FC Bayern Munich stand in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with their backs to the wall. The team of coach Alexander Straus needs an exceptional performance against the record winner of the competition in order to make the dream of the title come true.
5:45 p.m.: The list of Bavaria is here. As in the first leg, returnee Mala Grohs is in the box. The goalkeeper had retained her team from a higher defeat with an held penalty, among other things. Lohmann, Damnjanović, Tanikawa, Simon and Zigiotti are new in the team compared to the first game.
5:20 p.m.: But you don’t want to give up at Bayern yet. “If we score an early goal, everything is still in it,” said international Alara Şehitler, for example. “I think we are all in the mood and believe that we can still turn it.”
5 p.m.: It is a colossal task in front of which the Munich women are standing today. The 0-2 deficit from the first leg last week weighs heavily. The Bavarians showed a committed performance in phases, but the French women had the better chances – the victory of the guests at Bayern Campus was fine.
